I know it isn't much to go on but the ERCC website has them listed as

QF4 Clermont v Racing
QF1 Leinster v Saracens
QF3 Munster v Toulon
QF4 Scarlets v La Rochelle


Just an observation that the Home Teams are in alphabetical order ! ConfusedWink


This is a good point LOLLOL

BT Sport and Sky Sports will show two quarter finals each so hopefully they can agree time slots to have them over 2 days

The new deal will hopefully make it more straight forward from next season and perhaps we could have fixtures set in stone earlier in the season to help with travel

"BT Sport will become the undisputed home of European rugby after winning exclusive rights to the European Rugby Champions Cup and the European Rugby Challenge Cup in the UK and Ireland. 

The new deal, which starts at the beginning of the 2018/19 season, will see BT Sport become the sole broadcaster for all of the best European club rugby matches until at least the end of the 2021/22 campaign."

The last few seasons theres been 2 on the Saturday and 2 on the Sunday.

Bt Sports slots have been 3.15pm on the Saturday and 1pm on Sunday

Sky has had the 5.30/5.45pm slot on the Saturday and the 3.15pm on the Sunday.

Based on previous seasons I think BT will pick Leinster vs Saracens and Scarlets vs La Rochelle.

Ive got a feeling we could be the Sunday game at 1pm

I know someone mentioned ticket details will be released today (am sure I read that) but does anyone actually have an idea as to when the date & time of the QF will be announced?

There are, I think, six broadcast partners involved here, all of whom have a say in the timings so it may not be as straightforward as we hope.

  It says the semi final will be played in the country of t he higher ranked team.  I take it that means if Sarries beat Leinster and we beat La Rochelle our semi final will be in Wales.

These appear to be the official rules to determine home nation advantage for the semi-finals:


QF1 Leinster (1) Saracens (8)
QF2 Scarlets (4) La Rochelle (5)
QF3 Munster (3) Toulon (6)
QF4 Clermont (2) Racing (7)

SF1: QF1 winner v QF2.
SF2: QF3 winner v QF4

(a) For Semi-final 1

If the clubs ranked 1 and 4 win their QFs, the club ranked 1 will have home country

If the clubs ranked 1 and 5 win their QFs, the club ranked 5 will have home country advantage

If the clubs ranked 8 and 4 win their QFs, the club ranked 8 will have home country advantage

If the clubs ranked 8 and 5 win their QFs, the club ranked 5 will have home country advantage

(b) For Semi-final 2

If the clubs ranked 3 and 2 win their QFs, the club ranked 2 will have home country advantage

If the clubs ranked 3 and 7 win their QFs, the club ranked 7 will have home country advantage

If the clubs ranked 6 and 2 win their QFs, the club ranked 6 will have home country advantage

If the clubs ranked 6 and 7 win their QFs, the club ranked 6 will have home country advantage


It's not always the higher ranked team are home, as we (4) would play Saracens (8) away, for whatever reason.

La Rochelle would definitely have home advantage yet we are guaranteed not to, despite us finishing higher. Munster (3) will have to go to France for either Clermont (2) or Racing (7). It's a bit odd really.

We are away whatever happens. Either in Ireladn or England. I was actually rooting for being seeded 5th as I think it would have been easier for us.
Scarlets before Wales

Hoping for a win obviously and then an away semi in London v Sarries would be the best for our fans hopes of making the game. Dublin is far harder to plan and far more expensive.

Reading are playing away on SF weekend... Madejski would be ideal. Saracens played their SF there in 2016...

I was about to say its a great venue for us as i cant tremember ever losing there....then i remembered saints, and that last minute kick.Ouch

Well time to bury those ghosts once and for all.

Maybe next season we can defend the trophy by 

winning by a last gasp drop goal that goes off Ben morgans arse
then up to the city ground Nottingham where HP kicks from the halfway to pingpong of every post in the stadium to deny the tiggers.

We really do need to push on and acheive what Munster did after years of falling just short.
